Answer:

18 is the required answer.

Explanation:

Let we have to find "x"

Given that:

1/3 of x =12

The x would be known by:

x = 12*3

x = 36

Now we have to find half of the number x

It can be written as:

1/2 of 36 = ?

= 18

So the required number is 18.

Proof:

1/3 * 36 = 12

1/2 * 36 = 18

I hope it will help you!
